An overview of GarageBand, including the different buttons and functions of the application, the basics of constructing a GarageBand file from adding musical and voice tracks to editing options to adding media to finalizing and exporting, and finally, ways this can be employed in the classroom environment to increase student achievement and interest in the learning process. It is highly recommended that you have your MacBook with you, ready to dive in as we go through the app.
